Post-Game: Flames Beat The Champs

On Sunday, the Calgary Flames lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in Chicago.

They weren't very good that night. They got a goal and then faded, allowing the Blackhawks - who are pretty good - to take over the game. Tonight, the Flames hosted the Blackhawks. Many felt that the Flames were in line for a spanking. Instead, the local hockey club played easily their best game of the season. They were strong for three periods - even when they were out-shot in the second - and won a thriller in overtime for a 2-1 decision.

The Flames improve to 8-12-1 and are now 5-0 in three-on-three overtime.
